Hi all,
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2010 highlander in December with 40K miles on it. I am approaching 45K and am not sure if the differential and transfer case oils have ever been changed. I don't fall into the towing/severe service category for which toyota specifies a 30K mile...
I have a 2006 Hyundai Accent with 147,000mi on it. Has always had a bit of lifter noise on cold start-up. When the car was newer I tried Pennzoil platinum but switched back to PYB as the lifter noise was considerable louder for the first minute or so. Recently, I decided to try Pennzoil's...
friendly-jacek, pretty sure I came across your recording during my extensive internet search trying to self-diagnose the noise. My highlander sounds somewhat similar though not nearly as loud from what I can tell on your video. Yours really does sound like a diesel! You really have to have the...
I realize this probably isn't the right venue to hash out details of carbon knock, but would you really expect it on a vehicle with only 40K miles? The second dealership did a careful evaluation, including listening with a stethoscope and came to the conclusion that the sound is "normal".
I'm...
I bought a certified 2010 Toyota Highlander with 40K miles a few months ago and soon noticed a distinctive knock on cold acceleration which diminishes as the engine warms up. Apparently the pistons in this engine have a short skirt and tend to rock a bit in these engines until they heat up and...
Thanks for all the input! Sticking with the basic Pennzoil is definitely the cheaper option. I will probably stick with my short OCI as my commute is much shorter (Thank god!) and I do have to deal with some city traffic/idling. I am glad to hear that my little Accent can go for the long haul if...
I have a 2006 Hyundai accent commuter that is approaching 147000 miles. It has been using conventional Pennzoil 5w-20/5w-30 every 3750 miles for most of its life. I'd say 90% of those miles are freeway. I've even used Auto-Rx at approximately 50 and 90K miles. It runs great and consumes maybe...
Thanks for the replies. Ive used it twice in my wife's jetta with good results as well. Im a little surprised Im getting the start-up noise in the hyundai with only about 50K miles on it and a strict regimen of 3750mi drains with conventional. A good auto-Rx run and I'll probably start using...
I have a hyundai accent with a 3.5 quart oil capacity (with filter). It has started developing some HLA noise on cold starts and Im contemplating using some Auto-Rx. The instructions now call for the full 12oz regardless of sump size. Will this be too much for the hyundai.
What's to stop a company from putting the better additive packages in conventional oil? Is the chemistry not compatible or is it simply another way to market the synthetics as "better".
Thanks,
If it's just noise for whatever reason, I can deal with it. If it is noise and wear on the engine, then I want to pursue its correction while Im still in warranty (which is to 100,000mi). I want to drive this car for as long as I can.
My 06 hyundai accent with ~46K miles on it has developed an annoying "clatter" when cold. It seems to be louder when I let my foot off the gas and goes away completely after warmed up. Here is a link to video with sound. Is this piston slap, injectors, or normal...
That doesn't make much sense does it?! The increased engine noise with PP is heard on start-up and for a minute or two after I start to drive. I might just be my perception, but it seems to be much louder when I decelerate and there is no load on the engine.
I was always under the impression...
I just switched from the dino Pennzoil 5w-30 to PP 5w-30 on my hyundai accent at 45000mi and I swear the engine noise is noticeably louder when the engine is cold. Until it gets to operating temperature the engine chatter is now quite noticeable, especially on deceleration. Should I switch back...
Any issues on a 2006 hyundai accent with the oil being overfilled by 1/2 quart. The stated capacity is 3.48 with a filter and 4 quarts were put in. Gotta love the dealerships.
Yeah,
Im curious if I will even notice a difference. Being a 40wt should decrease the oil consumption, but being a synthetic might increase it a bit, perhaps? I'll just have to keep an eye on the level for awhile after the change.
